Description
by Sylvia Churchill Prince (Author)
One Leaf in Time chronicles the life of Sylvia Churchill Prince, born in Tientsin, China, where her father was a successful businessman. For the first eight years of Sylvia's life, the Churchills enjoyed a life of luxury among a community of foreign businessmen and dignitaries. The outbreak of the Second World War brought that life to a sudden stop, as the Churchills were rounded up by Japanese occupiers and transported to an internment camp in Weihsien. Prince offers a warts-and-all description of camp life, describing the harsh treatment imposed by Japanese officials, but also the resilience of internees from countries across Europe and North America. As her account reveals, it was possible to find entertainment, respite, and even joy in an environment where danger was but one misstep away. After the war, the Churchills moved to the United States. Prince recounts her experiences as a nursing student at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, her marriage to optometrist James Prince, and her life as a mother of five, working nurse, and resident of Kilmarnock in Virginia's Northern Neck. Her experiences expose some of the trials and joys of raising a family and being a good neighbor in rural America.
